Possible Causes
Worn or broken trigger microswitch, Faulty handle control PCB, Broken trigger linkage, Corroded switch contacts from moisture
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting the trigger area.
- Check trigger movement: Squeeze the trigger and feel for a distinct click. If it feels mushy or does not return, the mechanism may be broken.
- Inspect for debris: Look around the trigger for dirt or sticky residue. Clean carefully with a dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth (battery removed), then dry thoroughly.
- Battery reset: Reinsert the battery and try again. If there is still no response and other functions (like charge LEDs) work, the trigger circuit is suspect.
- Professional repair: Replacing the trigger switch or handle PCB requires disassembly of the handle and is best done by an authorized service center.
